Goodyear introduces two new mixed-service tires

Categories

TORONTO, Ont. — Goodyear had a pair of new mixed-service tires on display at this year’s Truck World.

The G731 MSA and G751 MSA mixed-service tires will be launched in Canada this summer in several sizes, available with DuraSeal technology. DuraSeal features a gel-like rubber compound that’s built into the tire’s casing. When a tire’s tread is damaged, the substance is released and can seal punctures of up to a quarter inch in diameter.

The G731 MSA is designed for applications that are about 20% on-road and 80% off-road. Goodyear says its removal mileage has been extended by about 5% compared to its predecessor, the G288 MSA. It also features lower rolling resistance for improved fuel economy and a wider footprint for extra traction and stability. The tire will be offered in the following sizes: 11R22.5 (with DuraSeal Technology); 12R22.5; 11R22.5; 11R24.5; 275/70R22.5; and 255/70R22.5.

The G751 MSA is designed for applications that are on-road 80% of the time and off-road 20% of the time.

It features a high-scrub tread compound for cut, chip and tear resistance and more wearable rubber. It boasts up to 50% more miles to removal than its predecessor, the G287 MSA, Goodyear claims. And the G751 also features a wider footprint and lower rolling resistance.

The G751 MSA will be available in the following sizes: 11R22.5 (with DuraSeal Technology); 315/80R22.5 (with DuraSeal Technology); 12R22.5; 12R24.5; 11R22.5; 11R24.5; and 315/80R22.5.

“These premium tires are big on tread life, toughness and fuel economy, and Goodyear’s exclusive, self-sealing DuraSeal Technology will help keep them up and running,” said Buckham.
